Victor strikes again! Assisted by Barry

Patch by Victor, Reviewed by Barry

Patch by Victor Stinner, reviewed by Barry Warsaw.

Changed semantic of _fileio.FileIO's close()  method on file objects with closefd=False. The file descriptor is still kept open but the file object behaves like a closed file. The FileIO  object also got a new readonly attribute closefd.

  Fix one of the tests: it relied on being present in an "output test" in
  order to actually test what it was supposed to test, i.e. that the code
  in the __del__ method did not crash.  Use instead the new helper
  test_support.captured_output().

  Issue #4176: Pickle would crash the interpreter when a __reduce__ function
  does not return an iterator for the 4th and 5th items.

  Will backport to 2.6 and 2.5.

The patch fixes several issues with Py_NewInterpreter as well as the demo for multiple subinterpreters.
Most of the patch was written by MvL with help from Benjamin, Amaury and me. Graham Dumpleton has verified that this patch fixes an issue with mod_wsgi.

Issue #4213: The file system encoding is now normalized by the codec subsystem, for example UTF-8 is turned into utf-8.
Patch created by Victor and reviewed by me. The change is required for proper initialization of subinterpreters.

Issue #4200: Changed the atexit module to store its state in its PyModuleDef atexitmodule. This fixes a bug with multiple subinterpeters. The bug was found by Graham Dumpletom during his work on a 3.0 port of mod_wsgi. The patch has been reviewed by Benjamin.

Issue #4237: io.FileIO() was raising invalid warnings caused by insufficient initialization of PyFileIOObject struct members.

Issue #4237: io.FileIO() was raising invalid warnings caused by insufficient initialization of PyFileIOObject struct members.

The 2.x dict.iteritems() returns an iterator,
whereas the 3.0 dict.items() returns a "view",
which is iterable, but not an iterator with its __next__ method.

Patch by Hirokazu Yamamoto.

Deprecate the previously undocumented Pickler.fast attribute.
Revamp the "Pickling Class Instances" section.
Reorganize sections and subsections.
Clean up TextReader example.
